Churchill - Clattering Train

[Rasterizing]

For anyone that's interested the quoted poem is called "Death and His Brother Sleep

by Edwin J Milliken".

Churchill would quote extracts or the one liner "Who is in charge of the clattering train?" when he felt a situation was out of control and no one was managing it properly.

[IdolHans]

Who is in charge of the clattering train?

The axles creak and the couplings strain,

and the pace is hot and the points are near,

and sleep hath deadened the driver's ear,

and the signals flash through the night in vain,

for death is in charge of the clattering train

[KaiseRex42]

superb!
